Of course this didn't helped the [[Plus]] range at all and was almost as shamefull as the [[Speccy Port]] technic.
This was a cheap and fast way to shortly release games.
Some games were "Almost Direct Disk to Cartridge Port" as some few extra PLUS features where still implemented :
Most Cartridge games were "Almost Direct Disk to Cartridge Port" as some few extra PLUS features where still implemented : *[[Crazy Cars 2 ( Cartridge )]]*[[Fire and Forget 2 ( Cartridge )]]
But it was better than nothing.
Most of those games were known as good games ond the CPC Old.
The bet was that it would still make good games on [[Plus]] standard.
Yet peoples saw no interest to buy an expensive Cartridge with so few adventages, as they often had the Cracked Disk version.
Most games with OLD and PLUS version are "Almost Direct Disk to Cartridge Port".
Yet the Extra PLUS feature could vary a lot.
Batman and Barbarian 2 could have make great use of 2 button padles and a 4096 colour palette...
It is nowadays a common feature to Modify existing Old CPC games into "Almost Direct Disk to Cartridge Port", just by modifying the Colours palette to match the [[Plus]] capability.
Yet heavier modifications can be seen too.
